gptkbp:famousQuote |
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
It always seems impossible until it is done. What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. |
